Plant leaves are getting very claustrophobic against one another. Beginning to wonder when would be the time to remove some upper fan leaves to improve light to the mid stack buds. Vertical growth seems to have about stopped. I'm hoping so because I experienced slight light burn this week from the light being only 10in away from the top buds. Light has now been raised as far as it can be, about 15in away, without drastically altering the setup. Would really hate using less power out of my already low power light and screwing the lower growth due to a little burn. : ( Good week though. Smell is beginning to come thru. Will describe it more next week!

Can anyone recommend how high and what percentage to run my light. The leaves have not been strongly perked up in a few days and I wonder if it's that the intensity of light is too high. I've been at 80% at around 14 inches. vipraspectra p600. Critical purple auto.

Give her all she can take! Short answer -- watch internodes and don't let them stretch. By the time the serrated, lobed leaves get larger, it'll probably handle full intensity. If they get too tight, that's too much light. if they stretch, that's too little light. Why/how and ramblings. Basically, this can be a little different for every plant, but you can use the same method and get consistent results. Observe internode length. Internode is the part of plant between 2 nodes... it will 'stretch' if the plant is not provided enough light. So, it's easy to tell when not giving enough light. How tight do you want the nodes? Again, needs a little trial and error. Plants have different growth patters, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution here. Too much light -- plant will wilt... all over. not just the petioles and leaves. Extreme issues will result in pale spots forming near top in most intense areas of light. Before that, internode can be almost non existent. If you see 4+ leaves all originating from nearly the same spot and you don't have a mutation, it's very likely too much light. The nodes have grown too tight and everything will be on top of each other, which will be good for mold and other microbial life, maybe even pests too? So, obeserve how the spacing of nodes works out, adjust any light. if you have a cheap lux meter, thery are fine to use under any 1 light (same spectrum, cct, et al.). Don't take readings from 1 light and apply it to a different light unless it is exactly the same down to diodes. But, you can measure and see the lux value and the next plant will be very similar. you can set light height or dimmer, then observe for any adjustments based on what the plant does. Subtle differences will exist. You are not far away from full-bore. Ambient CO2 levels will impact how much you can give a plant. So will VPD (temp + RH%), but light intensity and co2 is the determining factor for optimal VPD. This is why how much a plant can take is variable... So, be wary of anyone giving exact recommendations without 100% confidence. This is only meant to be used as a ballpark concept given all the factors that matter and that we rarely control them all in the same way.

I would definately chop those now. Your strain has a seed to harvest time of 50 to 60 days which is well over where you are at right now. Sometimes it is good to let them go an extra week if you don't like where they are at...but your in the danger zone now for nanners to develop and start pollenating your buds for reproduction. If you let a strain flower too long without harvesting, they will go into survival mode and reproduce for seeds next year!

Oh ok Ill recheck that seed to harvest time but I thought it said 55 to 60. Might be another seed banks critical purple. Thats the funny thing about going off of other people grows here on grow diaries. I was actually trying to do that in the beginning of my first grow, but you need to remember that alot of people on here are in the same boat as you. Either with little or no expierience so I almost found out the hard way not to trust other peoples grows on here. I ended up just doing more of my own research and really examining my plant everyday top to bottom to go with my own gut instinct on when they are finished. If I would of stuck to going by other peoples grows on here, I would of screwed up my whole plant. Some people on here were letting the strain I was growing go 14 to 16 weeks from seed to harvest, when the recommended seed to harvest was anywhere from 8-11 weeks tops. They paid the price fror doing so, as there bud turned out flavorless and all the bottoms of the buds that were old growth were completely amber if not black lol They said it gave them the biggest headache of there life when smoking it. So its up too you at the end of the day...but if I were you I would do your own research and go on your own gut instinct, because trusting other peoples grows and trusting everyones word on what to do will only get you deeper into trouble with your plants. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. This is why so few are actually successful at harvesting grade A cannabis. It is very tricky and requires alot of research, attention to detail, and just plain ol' expierience @yatzi,

@TJshortstop24, I feel like the plant is in rough looking shape too, but it says 70-80 days on GC website. I'm pretty sure I've looked at many critical purple grows on here that went to at least 12 weeks. I'm still seeing barely any ambers what so ever, and some more trichomes need to finish clouding. I believe my trichomes are about 80% of the way there now however. I'm gonna give it at least 2 more days, and maybe up to 5 or so if works out that way. I'm looking to chop asap though!
